Switchgear Refurbishment
DDP Technology provides on-site refurbishment services for switchgear and padmount transformers, restoring both enclosure condition and internal components when removal is impractical. Refurbishment has become a preferred alternative to full replacement due to cost, downtime, and environmental considerations.
Why Refurbishment
-
More cost-effective than purchasing new equipment
-
Faster turnaround compared to new unit procurement
-
Often qualifies as revenue expenditure, simplifying internal approval
-
Extends asset service life and reduces overall capital spend
Extending Asset Life
A strategic refurbishment program helps utilities operate responsibly and sustainably. Regular inspections, CO₂ cleaning, and pre-failure repairs can extend switchgear life by 10 to 20 years.
Common Degradation Issues
Many high-voltage switchgear units experience reduced lifespan due to environmental damage, contamination, or impact. Live front PMH switchgear is especially vulnerable because insulator contamination can lead to insulation breakdown, voltage tracking, and possible failure. Refurbishment restores condition, reliability, and operational safety.
Environmental Responsibility
DDP Technology refurbishes existing and scrap switchgear assets to reduce waste and promote sustainable infrastructure management.
Dry Ice (CO₂) Cleaning Advantage
Our cleaning process uses reclaimed CO₂ that does not release additional emissions. It is non-abrasive, safe around energized components, and highly effective at removing conductive contaminants.
